Hello,

What happens if your server reboots while the DNS
server is down/unavailable ?

This seems to be a bad idea for the same reasons
that putting hostnames in firewall configs are a bad idea:

You want the system to boot and work correctly
regardless of whether the systems DNS servers
were responsive at boot time or not.
